NOTE: Ozone purication is recommended only as a supplement to the above
sanitisers. Ozone Puriers greatly enhance the quality of the spa water when
used in conjunction with an industry standard spa chemical maintenance
program.
CAUTION: Never use ozone as a single-source sanitiser, water clarier, stain &
scale inhibitor or foam inhibitor.
WARNING: Trichlor Chlorine tablets should never be used in a portable spa.
Dissolve rate, potency and the extreme low pH of this chemical can cause
severe damage to the spa surface and components. Use of Trichlor Chlorine
tablets will void the warranty.
WARNING: Bromine and Dichlor tablets are also not recommended as an
acceptable sanitiser in a Spa unless in an appropriate feeding or metering
device. Inconsistency in its application and excessive Bromine or
Chlorine in the spa can cause surface damage and component failure. Use of
either of these sanitiser tablets in any automatic “oating-type” tablet feeder
will require more frequent monitoring and testing. Misuse of Bromine or
Dichlor tablets will void the warranty.
WARNING: Products containing Baguanide (Baqua) are also not recommended
for use in your spa. ese products are known to deteriorate light lenses, pump
seals and other spa components. Misuse of Baquanide products will void the
warranty.
Super Sanitisation (Spa Shock)
Normal sanitation does not eliminate Chloramines (trapped Chlorine),
Bromamines (trapped Bromine), along with other non-lterable wastes, such
as perspiration, oils, hair sprays, etc. that can build up in the water. ese
substances make the water unattractive in appearance and odour, and can
interfere with sanitiser eectiveness. Super Sanitation is achieved by adding
high levels of Spa Fresh Shock or equivalent which is a non-Chlorine shock
(Potassium Peroxymonosulfate or equivalent). Contact your authorised Spa
dealer for assistance.
When Super Sanitising your spa water, and providing that you are available to
attend to the safety of any children present, you should allow the high level of
oxidiser to o-gas by opening the spa cover at least half way for a minimum
of 20 minutes. Failure to allow high concentrations of sanitiser to o-gas with
the spa cover open will cause the underneath side of the cover to discolor and
degrade. Such damage to the spa cover is not covered under the terms of your
spa’s warranty.
WARNING: Never leave an open spa unattended, especially if there are children
present.
pH Control
Proper pH balance is extremely important in providing water that is
comfortable to the user, and preventing damage to the spa and equipment.
e measure of acidity and basicity in the water is called pH. e pH scale
ranges from 0-14. Levels of pH less than 7.0 are acidic while pH levels greater
than 7.0 are basic. e proper pH range for a spa is 7.4-7.6. High pH levels
(greater than 7.6) can cause scale build-up on the spa and its equipment,
cloudy water, a prematurely dirty lter, and less eective sanitation. To correct
high pH levels, add a pH decreaser. Low pH levels (less than 7.4): can cause
discomfort to the spa users, rapid dissipation of sanitiser, and corrosion to the
spa equipment. To increase pH levels, add a pH increaser.
NOTE: Never use Muriatic or Hydrochloric acid to adjust pH as it can damage
the spa shell and surrounding components.
